Title: Mashed Potatoes with Herbs
Categories: Herb Side Vegetable
Yield: 4 Servings

5		Potatoes (about 2 lbs.)
1	c	Thinly sliced onion
2/3	c	Milk
2	tb	Butter
1/4	c	Finely chopped chervil*
		Salt and pepper; to taste

*While the recipe says you can substitute dried chervil, using 2/3 less the amount of the 1/4 cup, personally I think dried chervil tastes like straw and I only make this in spring/early summer when fresh chervil's in my garden.

Peel and quarter potatoes. Put in a large pot; cover with cold water. Add onion and salt. Bring to a boil and cook 20 minutes. Drain. Beat in milk, butter, chervil, salt and pepper.
